This 1949 Ford 8N tractor was refurbished and modified under prior ownership with the installation of a 302ci V8 using an Awesome Henry conversion kit. It is linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a Sherman auxiliary transmission. The tractor was purchased by the seller in 2021 and is finished in gray and red. Features include AutoMeter gauges, a spring-mounted padded seat, a rear power take-off, and a three-point hitch. Service under current ownership included an oil change. This 8N tractor is now offered at no reserve in Woodridge, Illinois, with a set of removable mufflers and a bill of sale.
The engine cover and fenders are said to have been replaced under previous ownership and were repainted gray with red Ford script. The frame, drivetrain, suspension, and wheel hubs have been refinished in red. Features include a louvered engine cover vent, rear fenders, side steps, and V8 badging.
Gray-painted wheels wear 6.00-16 Carlise tires up front and 11.2-28 rear Harvest King tires. The tractor is equipped with a rear PTO shaft along with a hydraulically lifted three-point hitch assembly with a drawbar. A gallery video shows the hitch lift operating.
The operator’s station features a spring-suspended Star Eco padded seat upholstered in black vinyl. Controls consist of a diamond-plate throttle pedal and twin brake levers on the right, a clutch pedal on the left, and a hitch lift control lever beside the seat. The shift lever and starter button are mounted on top of the transmission case.
The three-spoke steering wheel features hub-mounted instructions for the Sherman auxiliary transmission. AutoMeter instrumentation includes a tachometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. No hour meter is fitted, and total operating hours are unknown.
The Ford 302ci V8 was installed under prior ownership, reportedly using an Awesome Henry V8 conversion kit. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Sherman auxiliary transmission. Equipment includes a 12-volt electrical system, an electric cooling fan, an open-element air cleaner, an electric fuel pump, long-tube headers, and removable mufflers. The oil was changed under current ownership.
